Father wants to stop time, J.P. Morgan wants to transcend time, Coalhouse is a man born before his time, and poor Younger Brother runs clean out of time. There are big things brewing at the dawn of the 20th century and the only thing certain is that it's the perfect time to listen to Matt, Dave and Jason as they wrap up their discussion of E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime.

Outro: "Good Old Days" by The Beau Hunks
Next week is an off week, and then we'll be starting
Midaq Alley, by Naguib Mahfouz. Here's what Dave writes about it: "The story takes place on a single street in 1940s Cairo and covers a broad spectrum of behaviors within a small space and time. Religion is a big theme, as you might expect, but equally examined are the separate roles of men and women (in marriage and otherwise), drug use, emerging technologies, homosexuality, and -- there's no other way to put it, really -- the art of crippling oneself."
Short or tall, we'll take them all. Join "Our Gang" over at our Goodreads group and tell us stuff:
